There is nothing to apologize for. Morgan's raid was a legitimate wartime event.

I do not know much about this new movie; but I will be amazed if it really does picture the South fairly. Hollywood really has a tremendous bias against the South, which we have discussed in a number of places--in addition to the new essay on images.

Incidentally, I found the other day that there is actually a group actively trying to get Disney to reissue "Song Of The South." If the present management were not Leftist oriented, they would naturally do so, if for no other reason than to give many Southerners a reason to end the boycott by Southern Baptists and others. But a management, that turns their "family oriented" theme parks over to deviants on selected days each year, is not apparently just driven by sound business decisions.

Keep fighting, my friend. Those willing to speak truth, with a sense of proportion, today, are terribly needed.

Indeed it never ends....many here are lured by the flame of South bashing self righteousness....it's an addiction.....feeling good about oneself thru an act that requires no sacrifice other than pontificating.

It is my understanding that the NAACP actually purchased the rights to Song of the South. If that is the case, then would Disney even be able to reproduce it? I think it is very sad really. Song of the South was a delightful movie. I guess it just won't do to have anybody see a black man in the old south portrayed as a happy and well-adjusted individual. It isn't conducive to the agenda and counters the propaganda of the racist liberals.
